Article Draft
Lead Liquids possess an amount of internal friction which presents itself when stirred in the form of resistance. This resistance is the different layers of the liquid reacting to one another as they are stirred. This can be seen with something such as syrup which has higher viscosity than water presenting less internal friction when stirred. The ratio of this viscosity is known as Relative Viscosity.

The significance in Relative viscosity is that you can analyze the effect a polymer can have on a solution's viscosity such as increasing the solutions viscosity.
